AdSemble Advertising Guidelines and Policies

We want Advertisers to have fun and to be safe, and those goals drive our Advertising Guidelines and Policies. Advertisers must be honest about the products or services their ads promote; they must avoid content that misleads or offends; and they must never compromise our users' privacy. These Advertising Policies apply to all ads on Open Display and any other of AdSemble's products or services.

General Rules

Advertisers must comply with AdSemble's Terms of Service and all other AdSemble policies governing the use of our products or services. We may update our terms, policies, and guidelines from time to time, so please review them regularly.

Advertisers are responsible for ensuring that their ads are suitable for the public in each geographic area where the ads will run. They're also responsible for ensuring that their ads comply with all applicable laws, industry codes, rules, and regulations in each geographic area where the ads will run. All disclosures in ads must be clear and conspicuous.

Review

All ads are subject to our review and approval. We reserve the right to reject or remove any ad in our sole discretion for any reason. We also reserve the right to request modifications to any ad, and to require factual substantiation for any claim made in an ad. In order for any ads to be approved, all text content must be written in the English language.

Steps to Take if Disapproved

If your ad isn't approved for not fully complying with our policies, you can edit it and resubmit for review. To edit your ad:

    -Check the email address associated with your advertising account. If your ad doesn't get approved, we'll send you an email with details that explain why.
    -Using the information in your disapproval email, you can edit your ad and create a compliant one.
    -You may re-submit the ad through the AdSemble Open Display platform for review.
